No-Churn Sawine Ice Cream

Whether it’s called Sawine, Saywine, Sahwine or even Suhwine many can attest that its one of the favored desserts for Eid. This is one of the many dishes Muslims across the world eat to celebrate the end of Ramadan. It reminds me of porridge because its rich, creamy and packed with spices. Vermicelli is one of the key ingredients to this dish. It is a thin pasta that we use to parch or like we say in Trinidad “Patch”. The mixture of the toasted Vermicelli and spiced milk creates this wonderful aroma and taste like no other. I wanted to in cooperate this delightful mix into another desert and of course I ran towards ice cream. This sawine ice cream is in its own league. The Sawine and ice cream mix complements each other so well, Simply irresistible. Enjoy with your favourite topping and it’s a sure crowd pleaser. Hope you enjoy and Eid Mubarak to you and your family.

Place condensed milk, whipping cream and Sawine mixture in the fridge to keep cold. Note: (Everything needs to keep very cold.)
